And as RadioTimes.com discovered, McGlynn believes that it should be a long road to recovery should Sinead ever recover the use of her legs.

"If she does get better, then I hope it takes a while," comments the actress. "Because it would [in real life]. You don’t want to offend people who are watching it. And that’s the kind of thing that could go wrong on telly – something happens and the next week they’re fine."

On the filming of the stunt, which is set to air during tomorrow evening's double bill, co-star Andy Whyment says that the actors had to do most of the stuntwork without the use of stand-ins. "Body doubles? You have to be joking," he laughs. "We were told, 'get in there. Get it shot!'"
